Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: Joyful Lays #89 (1884) First Line: Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently sleep,
Be my last tho't, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 If some poor wandering child of Thine
Have spurned, to-day, the voice divine,
Now Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let Him no more lie down in sin.
4 Come near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take;
Till, in the ocean of Thy love,
We lose ourselves in heaven above. Scripture: John 15:5 Languages: English Tune Title: [Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear]
